| CARROT
(Daucus carota) 800 seeds per packet. Most of our varieties mature around 65-70 days from sowing. Early sowings can be made 2-3 weeks before spring’s last frost date. The tiny seeds should be surface-sown and not covered, or covered only minimally, and kept uniformly moist until seedlings are strong. May be sown throughout spring and summer at 2-3 week intervals, until about a month before first frost in autumn. Deep, mellow, well-worked soil suits long types; half-longs and round types are better bets in heavier soils.

White Belgian or Blanche A Collet Vert
New!
A big, heavy carrot that was once common on many of Europe's small farms, but has now become quite scarce. The long roots are white with green shoulders, and can be used in the kitchen or, as used in the 1800's, as an animal feed. Vilmorin said in 1885, "This is a field carrot par excellence. There is hardly any farm on which it is not grown to some extent for feeding cattle, and especially horses." They also said it was developed from the Long White carrot, which was almost gone from France at that time. Not frost-hardy, but a great old carrot that is perfect for farmers wanting to grow their own feed.
